I’ve noticed a few people on here use “x years from now” incorrectly to refer to the past. I wonder if it’s an ESL thing and maybe their native language uses that construct to refer to the future.
I’ve read that intelligent people can be more susceptible to rabbit holes because they trust themselves to see through the bullshit. They don’t realise the bullshit is carefully crafted to slip past their filters.
Three years from now would mean three years into the future.
Three years ago would be three years into the past.
And yes it’s sad how even intelligent people fall down very deep rabbit holes.

You’re discounting the possibility that the person is a time traveler.
Lol sorry, I was tired when I typed that. “x years from now” to refer to the past is weird if not wrong.

Thanks! I was tired and typed that in haste. Corrected.
